The following instructions will cover installation on systems that can use RPM files. If you are using rPath or another Linux distribution that does not support RPM packages, please see Installing Without Using Packages. You may also see Debian Installation for distributions that use Debian packages.
Installation will require root privileges for both the Speech Engine and License Server.
The tool YUM (available on many RPM-enabled systems) can be used to easily manage your LumenVox installations.
To get started, download the file RPM-GPG-KEY-LumenVox from http://www.lumenvox.com/packages/FC5/ or http://www.lumenvox.com/packages/FC6/ depending on whether you use Fedora Core 5 or 6. For CentOS 4 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, use http://www.lumenvox.com/packages/EL4/; the link for CentOS 5 / RH EL 5 is http://www.lumenvox.com/packages/EL5/. Save the file to /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/.
Next, create a file named LumenVox.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and enter the following in the file for Fedora Core (be sure to save the file after entering the text):
###################################################
[LumenVox]
name=LumenVox Products for Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://www.LumenVox.com/packages/FC$releasever/i386/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-LumenVox
###################################################
For RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 and CentOS 4, use:
###################################################
[LumenVox]
name=LumenVox Products $basearch
baseurl=http://www.LumenVox.com/packages/EL4/i386/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-LumenVox
###################################################
For RHEL 5 and CentOS 5, use:
###################################################
[LumenVox]
name=LumenVox Products $basearch
baseurl=http://www.LumenVox.com/packages/EL4/i386/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-LumenVox
###################################################
From a command line, you may then type yum install <package> where <package> is LumenVoxLicenseServer (for the License Server) or LumenVoxSRE (for the Speech Engine). You may use yum update <package> to update either piece of software as well.
Log out and log back in to your machine after installation completes.
After you have installed the software, see Licensing Overview to get started licensing your software.
At this time we do not fully support running the LumenVox software in a 64-bit environment. It is possible that the normal i386 LumenVox packages will install and run on a 64-bit operating system, but as we do not build or test them in this environment we cannot recommend this use for a production environment.
On select Linux distributions (at this time Fedora Core 5 and 7 and Red Hat/CentOS 5) we have available a 64-bit version of our speech client. This package contains only the necessary files for a speech application to communicate with our speech server (the application called LVSRE_SERVER) running on a separate machine.
Note that if you install the 64-bit client, you will likely experience problems if you also have the 32-bit LumenVoxSRE package installed on that same machine. Instead of installing both the client and the server on the same machine, you should use SetPropertyEx to set PROP_EX_SRE_SERVERS to point to the machine with the server running.
To download and install the software, modify the LumenVox.repo files specified above. You need to replace the directory /i386/ with /x86_64/ and then run yum install LumenVoxClient in order to get the software. It will install to /opt/lumenvox/client/ on your system.
See Downloading the Software for instructions on obtaining the License Server and Speech Engine RPMs. They are named in the format LumenVoxLicenseServer-X.Y-Z.DISTRIBUTION.i386.rpm where X.Y-Z represents the software's version number, and DISTRIBUTION is the Linux distribution they are to be used for.
You can install an RPM by typing rpm -Uvh LumenVoxLicenseServer-X.Y-Z.DISTRIBUTION.i386.rpm
Log out and log back in to your machine after installation completes.
After you have installed the software, see Licensing Overview to get started licensing your software.
